title: I Want My Diablo II
---

I just signed the <a href="http://www.tuxgames.com/petitions/">petition
for Diablo II</a> over on <a href="http://www.tuxgames.com/">TuxGames</a>.
It looks like the big winners in the petitions are
<a href="http://www.starcraft.com/">StarCraft</a> with 2736 votes and
<a href="http://www.diabloii.net/">Diablo II</a> with 2242 votes.  The
next runner-up is Baldurs Gate II, with a measly 556 votes.  Anywyas,
even if <a href="http://www.lokigames.com/">Loki</a> doesn't convince
<a href="http://www.blizzard.com/">Blizzard</a> to let them port 
Diablo II, the reports under <A href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a>
look promising.

Anyways, none of this is going to happen until I upgrade my machine. 
I think I may have the cash to put together a new system sometime
within the next couple of months.  I'm thinking about an Ath800/128,
along with a GeForce 2/MX (unless the GeForce DDR is better, that is),
I'm also trying to buy a 17" monitor from one of my roommate's friends,
but I don't know whether or not that's going to happen yet.  In the
future, I'd like to get my hands on 
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/mouse/explorer.htm">the
world's perfect mouse</a>, a little bit more RAM (preferrably 256 megs),
a larger hard drive (at least 60 gigs -- that's only ~$200 now-a-days),
a TV Tuner Card, and a decent webcam.  Anyways, this is all a ways off,
but I can hardly wait.
